C20 The Mysterious Cave
Yang Fann was a little surprised. The requirements to recruit students in Preston Academy were very strict. And now, Fan Xiu calmly said that he would send him to the Preston. If it wasn't for his boastful words... ___ guessed that he must have a very deep relationship with the Preston Academy, and his status was very high.
Originally, the only dream in Yang Fann's heart was to enter the Preston and cultivate. But now... Although he knew that he could enter the Preston, it was no longer meaningful. A person who basically couldn't accept elemental energy, what could he do even if he entered the Preston? Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be the same wherever he went? Rather than staying in the Preston and being looked down upon by Aaron and the others, he might as well find a place to live his life in a carefree manner.
Thinking up to this point, Yang Fann said, "Many thanks, Senior. But I don't think it's necessary to enter the Preston Academy."
"I think it's better for you to stay in the Preston." Fan Xiu stared at Yang Fann with bright eyes and said. Although his tone was gentle, it carried an irresistible meaning.
Yang Fann was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. It turned out that Fan Xiu only wanted to put him under house arrest in Preston Academy, so as not to cause trouble in the future.
After figuring this out, Yang Fann smiled and said, "Alright, I'll listen to senior's arrangements then."
Fan Xiu said, "Alright, I'll send you to Preston Academy in two days when your body recovers a little. There will naturally be someone to receive you at that time."
Yang Fann declined politely and said, "Thank you senior for your good intentions. My body is fine now. I want to return to Preston now."
"Alright then. I won't keep you here. I hope brother will remember my words!" Seeing that Yang Fann insisted on leaving, Fan Xiu didn't force him to stay any longer.
Fan Xiu sent Yang Fann out of the door. Looking at Yang Fann's fading back, he sighed in his heart. Sigh, I hope this is the right thing to do. This is the only thing I can do.
After saying goodbye to Fan Xiu, Yang Fann found himself in a huge mountain. There was a small path leading down the mountain, but he had no idea how to get to Preston.
Helpless, Yang Fann had no choice but to follow the path down the mountain. No matter what, he had to go down the mountain first. Since Fan Xiu didn't point out the direction of Preston, it shouldn't be wrong to follow this path.
Along the way, Yang Fann didn't have the mood to admire the beautiful scenery of the mountain. He was in a low mood. From the test until now, he was surprised to find out that he was the host body. He was also surprised to enter the Preston. However, at this moment... He really couldn't raise his spirits.
Suddenly, a howl that sounded like a wild beast came from afar. That sound seemed to come from an empty valley, long and deep.
Yang Fann sat up in surprise and looked in the direction of the sound. He actually found out that the sound came from the back mountain of the academy. He didn't wait for Yang Fann to understand what was going on. Immediately following that, another howl was heard.
Yang Fann was surprised. He walked to the front of a mountain and put his ear on it. The same sound came again. This time, he heard it more clearly. There seemed to be a trace of pain in the sound.
Yang Fann was more and more curious. He could not help but think of going to investigate.
Yang Fann followed the direction of the voice. He did not know how far he had gone. When the sound became clearer and clearer, he suddenly stopped. It turned out that he only cared about the sound as he walked forward. He actually came to the restricted area of the academy's back mountain. And that sound came from the restricted area of the rear mountain.
Yang Fann stood in front of the stone tablet that had the word 'forbidden' written on it, hesitating as to whether he should enter or not. At this time, that voice sounded again. This time, Yang Fann heard it even clearer. It sounded like it was coming from a person!
"How could it be a person? Could it be that there are other people in the back mountain besides ordinary cultivators?"
Yang Fann was surprised, but that painful and unwilling roar made his hair stand on end. It also made him even more curious. What kind of torture did this person suffer, and why did he let out such a miserable roar?
After thinking for a while, Yang Fann bit his lips and stepped into the forbidden zone. He no longer hesitated, following the direction of the sound. The sound finally stopped in front of a thorny bush. Yang Fann pushed open the bush. A hole the size of a person appeared in front of him.
"Is there someone inside?" Yang Fann was very puzzled. "Why would a person live here?"
He put his ear close to the hole and listened for a while. He found that the sound came from this small hole!
"It's really strange. It can't be zombies or something like that, right? I heard that some zombies also like to live in holes!" Yang Fann's hair stood on end when he thought of this. He looked around. He had the urge to run, but his strong curiosity prevented him from moving.
"I don't care anymore. Let's go in and take a look first!"
In the end, curiosity overcame fear. Yang Fann gritted his teeth and lowered his body to enter the cave.
